Investors urged to think global

Tue, 23 Oct 2007

Investors have been advised that a world of opportunity awaits them if they are willing to expand their portfolios to encompass global concerns as well as local ones.

Rather than focussing on purely UK-centric investment opportunities, those looking for impressive returns may wish to cast their eyes farther afield and take advantage of the truly worldwide scope available, said JPMorgan Asset Management .

The investment expert noted that the 100 stocks that offer the highest yield in the FTSE All-World Developed Index are dominated by firms from outside the UK, with these accounting for 87 of the total number.

These hail from a wide selection of markets that are available to interested UK parties, including the US, Japan and other European nations.

Jason Britton, fund manager at T Bailey, commented: "We have been long-term advocates of the case for global equity income, recognising that the UK no longer has the dominance of high yielding stocks ."

Meanwhile locally, the National Association of Pension Funds has called for a greater level of accountability in private equity schemes, to provide higher transparency for investors.
